Over the course of the last few months, things have just happened, just presented themselves to the point I am beginning to notice these chance moments and beginning to act on them.
Assignment two and three are visually almost complete, but I need to reflect, exploring and write up the work. Both of the assignments occurred like a bolt of lightening and happened so quick I am concerned by the time taken which is no time at all. I need to accept that some work will just happen. For example I was cleaning my tip of a shed out at the weekend and I came across some old negatives which are complete destroyed. Since the Suitcase I requested some old family photos from my Dad which I may start to spread this across my whole family. Playing I decided put the two together. It took a minute or two it came from nowhere. It is something to think about for the future.

I so enjoyed the distinction you make between blog and journal. I think it will alter the way I think about my blog which, despite myself, I think is trying to tick boxes. So many other blogs I have looked at focus primarily on the "and then I tried this " approach which makes for quite bland content. Also themes around the past, death, postcards all resonate with me. I've kept these separate more or less from my work in Drawing 1 but realise that if they are ongoing thoughts - a bit like themes running inside my head - they should be allowed out. Thank you for giving others access to your thoughts and preoccupations, Alessandra.

Many thanks, I am glad it has helped. The learning log is ever changing just like the work we do. If we focus on what we really think and feel, it begins to move away from ticking boxes and the work starts to flow into itself. We start to work because of the way we think and feel and the research becomes an after thought. Memory and Death is a follow on from my previous unit see here https://whatifiamwrong.weebly.com/
